Update: ActionView has been refactored in Rails 2.0.2, making Erubis’ Rails helper, and the “Create an Erubis Initializer” section of this article, obsolete. See the comments for a Rails 2.0.2 compatible initializer. Thanks for the tip, Jason!

Erubis is a drop in replacement for Erb. Among its many features are a few notable improvements in terms of speed and security (it optionally supports auto-html escaping).
